    Notes: Drag and contact start and stop (CSS) tests are performed at different relative humidities to understand the effect of humidity on friction/stiction and durability of thin-film disks lubricated with a polar perfluoropolyether lubricant. Coefficient of friction and stiction increases above a certain relative humidity (RH). Durability increases with an increase of relative humidity and then decreases with a further increase of humidity after having reached a maximum. Humidity effect on friction/stiction and durability is found most severe at about 80% RH. Adsorbed water may displace and/or permeate into the lubricant film and result in a nonuniform liquid film. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract This paper, with the concepts of hydrogen bonding interaction and tribo-emission, develops a new approach of the mechanism of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant degradation at the head–disk interface. The role of lubricant X-1P in tribological performance is also described. The mechanism is as follows: (1) at the interface, there exist hydrogen atoms with partial positive charge and oxygen atoms with partial negative charge; (2) hydrogen bonding interactions at the sliding interface result in high friction which depletes the lubricant film at some sites; (3) low energy electrons are emitted from the sites with solid–solid asperity contact, inducing C–O bond scission through the interaction of low-energy electrons with PFPE lubricant molecules. Carbon overcoat on Al2O3–TiC surface passivates the interaction between water and PFPE lubricant molecules. Hydrogen bonding interactions are minimized during the presence of lubricant X-1P. The new approach well explains experimental results in part I of the paper.

    Notes: Abstract X-1P, a cyclic phosphazene lubricant, is studied and compared with polar perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant Z-Dol. Contact angles of lubricants are measured on different solid surfaces. Contact start-stop (CSS), drag, and ball-on-flat tests are performed and the results are discussed. Drag tests under high vacuum are also performed and discussed. Experimental results show that lubricant X-1P exhibits lower static friction and higher durability than lubricant Z-Dol, especially at high humidity. Higher durability is also observed for X-1P under the high vacuum condition compared with lubricant Z-Dol. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) overcoat on the Al2O3–TiC slider surface lowers friction and prolongs durability, especially for lubricant Z-Dol at high humidity, whereas for X-1P, there is no benefit of DLC. X-1P as an additive shows some improvement in durability at high humidity as compared to lubricant Z-Dol.
